Novikov series form a topological ring, and geometric series #
Let H be an additive monoid with a period homomorphism N : H →+ ℝ. The period filtration
U_C of TauCeti.RingTheory.NovikovSeries.Topology is compatible with the convolution product:
periods add under multiplication, so U_C * U_D ⊆ U_(C + D)
(TauCeti.NovikovSeries.mul_mem_periodFiltration). Since every Novikov series lies in some U_C,
multiplication is continuous for the period topology and the Novikov series form a
nonarchimedean topological ring. Iterating the estimate, a series supported in periods ≥ C with
C > 0 is topologically nilpotent; this is what makes geometric series ∑ aⁿ of positive-period
series converge in the complete ring of Novikov series, and likewise exponential series when the
coefficients form a ℚ-algebra.
The same estimate makes products computable from finite truncations: below the cutoff C, the
product of two series with periods bounded below by A and B only involves their coefficients of
period < C - B and < C - A
(TauCeti.NovikovSeries.mul_sub_mul_trunc_mem_periodFiltration). Multiplying by a monomial
u e^g with unit coefficient shifts the filtration by the period N g when exponents satisfy
left cancellation
(TauCeti.NovikovSeries.single_mul_mem_periodFiltration_iff).
The series supported in nonnegative periods form a subring, whose underlying set is the basic
neighbourhood U_0, and the series supported in strictly positive periods form an ideal of it. A
series a of the positive ideal lies in U_C for some C > 0, so it is topologically nilpotent,
and in the complete nonarchimedean Novikov ring the geometric series ∑ aⁿ converges to a
two-sided inverse of 1 - a in the nonnegative subring. For a monomial e^g with N g > 0 this
is the expansion (1 - e^g)⁻¹ = ∑ₖ e^(k • g). Such geometric series are the factors in the
product formula for dynamical zeta functions, and they appear in the torsion of circle-valued
Morse complexes. They also show that the completed ring has no augmentation: a ring homomorphism
to a nontrivial ring cannot send a monomial e^g of nonzero period to 1, since it would send
the unit 1 - e^g (or 1 - e^(-g)) to 0, although the group ring of finitely supported
series maps every monomial to 1.
The nonnegative subring is closed, hence complete, and the traces of the subgroups U_C are
ideals of it, so it is linearly topologized. For an S-algebra of coefficients it is an
S-algebra. These are the hypotheses of Mathlib's continuous evaluation of power series
(PowerSeries.aeval) at its topologically nilpotent elements, such as those of the positive ideal.

Periods add under multiplication: if the coefficients of a vanish below the period C and
those of b below D, then those of a * b vanish below C + D.
Products are determined modulo U_C by approximations of their factors: if a ∈ U_A and
b' ∈ U_B, and a' and b' agree with a and b modulo U_(C - B) and U_(C - A), then
a * b and a' * b' agree modulo U_C.
Cutoff compatibility of the convolution: if the coefficients of a vanish below A and those
of b below B, then below the cutoff C the product a * b agrees with the product of the
truncations of a below C - B and of b below C - A.
Multiplication of Novikov series is continuous for the period topology.
The period topology is a nonarchimedean ring topology.
If the coefficients of a vanish below the period C, then those of a ^ n vanish below
n • C.
A Novikov series whose coefficients vanish below some positive period is topologically
nilpotent: its powers tend to 0 in the period topology.
The subring of Novikov series supported in nonnegative periods. Its underlying additive
subgroup is the basic neighbourhood U_0 of the period topology.
Instances For
The nonnegative subring is open, hence also closed, in the period topology.
The ideal of the nonnegative subring formed by the series supported in strictly positive
periods. Its elements are the series lying in U_C for some C > 0
(TauCeti.NovikovSeries.exists_pos_mem_periodFiltration_iff).
Instances For
The positive ideal is two-sided, also for noncommutative coefficients.
A series of the positive ideal is topologically nilpotent.
For a in the nonnegative subring, the geometric series ∑ aⁿ lies in the nonnegative
subring.
For a in the positive ideal, 1 - a as a unit of the nonnegative subring. Its inverse is
the geometric series ∑ aⁿ (TauCeti.NovikovSeries.coe_inv_unitsOneSub).
Instances For
For N g > 0, the factor 1 - r e^g as a unit of the nonnegative subring. Its inverse is the
geometric series ∑ₖ rᵏ e^(k • g) (TauCeti.NovikovSeries.coe_inv_unitsOneSubSingle).
Instances For
A ring homomorphism out of the Novikov series to a nontrivial ring does not send a
monomial e^g of positive period to 1: it would send the unit 1 - e^g to 0.
The nonnegative subring as a complete linearly topologized algebra #
The nonnegative subring is complete, being closed in the complete ring of Novikov series.
The ideal of the nonnegative subring formed by the series in U_C: multiplying by a series of
nonnegative periods does not lower periods. These ideals form a basis of neighbourhoods of 0
(TauCeti.NovikovSeries.hasBasis_nhds_zero_nonnegSubring).
Instances For
The unit 1 - r e^g is a principal unit for the ideal periodIdeal R N (N g).
The nonnegative subring is linearly topologized: the ideals periodIdeal R N C form a basis
of neighbourhoods of 0. This is what makes power series evaluable at its topologically nilpotent
elements (PowerSeries.aeval).
A series of the positive ideal is topologically nilpotent in the nonnegative subring.
For an S-algebra R, the nonnegative subring is an S-algebra, with coefficientwise
scalar multiplication.
Evaluating a polynomial in the nonnegative subring commutes with the inclusion into the Novikov series.
Perturbing each factor above its lower bound by C perturbs the product above the sum
of the lower bounds by C. The empty product has zero difference, at every cutoff.
Multiplication by a monomial u e^g with unit coefficient shifts the period filtration by
N g: when exponents satisfy left cancellation, the coefficients of single g u * a vanish
below N g + C exactly when those of a vanish below C.
No augmentation of a completed Novikov ring. A ring homomorphism out of the Novikov
series to a nontrivial ring does not send a monomial e^g of nonzero period to 1. For
N g > 0 it would send the unit 1 - e^g to 0; for N g < 0 it would also send the inverse
monomial e^(-g), of positive period, to 1. In particular, as soon as the period map is
nonzero, no ring homomorphism to a nontrivial ring sends every monomial to 1, even though
the group ring of finitely supported series has such a homomorphism.
